Netflix’s Indian Original Rajma Chawal is finally set for a global release

Netflix just announced a whole new set of shows for its Indian audiences. Of the eight Netflix Originals, there are some that you may be familiar with. Such as the much-awaited Baahubali prequel, Baahubali: Before the Beginning that's set to take the blockbuster movie franchise down the spinoff route. Or the Shah Rukh Khan-backed Bard of Blood, starring Emraan Hashmi. There's also an adaptation of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children and Leila, a Deepa Mehta-directed feminist drama. But while you wait for the OTT platform to drop these series and movies -- which are at different stages of production -- there's one Netflix India original that's coming to your screens as soon as November 30, 2018. That original, ladies and gentlemen, is Parched director Leena Yadav's Rajma Chawal.

Starring Rishi Kapoor, Amyra Dastur, Aniruddh Tanwar and Aparshakti Khurana, Rajma Chawal examines the strained relationship of a middle-class Indian father and his tech-savvy millennial son. Set in Delhi's Chandni Chowk, the film sees a father (Kapoor) attempting to bridge the generation gap by reaching out to his angst-ridden young son (Tanwar) via social media... and ends up catfishing him. As the father in the film tries to clean up his mess, hilarity ensues.

Rajma Chawal originally premiered at British Film Institute's (BFI) London Film Festival in October this year. But the family dramedy has been acquired by Netflix and is now poised for a worldwide release on the on-demand-video platform. See the trailer for it below:
